Baba Ghanoush With Acorn Squash image

The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors - Jeff Smith - Copyright 1990 "Baba Ghanoush is a rich creamy paste, a combination of two strong flavors; roasted eggplant and tahini sharpened by lemon and garlic. I had always assumed it could be made with eggplant, and eggplant alone. Leave it to a second generation American Arab to teach me new tricks... Feel free to re-create this dish with almost any kind of squash or heavy vegetable."
